We will have regular classes this week, but…

Next week, November 26, Just for Kicks class at 6:30 will be cancelled due to a scheduling conflict with the school. The regular jr/adult class at 7:30 will continue, but may begin a little late.

TOURNAMENT

The tournament is this coming weekend!! We still need some volunteers to be “students” for the instructor clinic on Sunday, November 24. This will be a great opportunity for you to work closely with a higher ranking belt on many techniques and your kata. Perfect for the grading coming up in December! We need people to be at the regular Elementary School dojo ready for a 9:00 am start. All of our students orange belt and up should strongly consider attending this free instructional clinic.

We also need some older students or parents to help us out at the scoring tables. This is not a difficult job but does involve a little math using a calculator for tallying the kata scores. We appreciate any and all help!

Please don’t forget to bring your small raffle table prize to class this week so it can be prepared and set up before the start of the tournament.

Here is the information poster and the registration form for the tournament.

It would be great if all of our own members could attend the tournament either on both days, Friday and Saturday, or even just one of the days. It’s a great opportunity to learn from some very high ranking black belts, and to meet other karateka who are sharing the experiences you are.

It’s a fun weekend with lots going on! We’ll have draws for our raffle table prizes, the draw for the katana, the tournament events, plus visitors attending an interprovincial SWKKF Instructor Clinic!

It is an excellent weekend to have fun, meet new people, share your karate experience, and learn some new things all at once!

We still need some volunteers for various things at the tournament. We can take care of that at the next few classes!

See you at the dojo!

Just a reminder that we are having “Regular  Class” tonight as a make up for the cancelled classes last week.

The tournament is coming up fast, so please consider bringing a small gift for our prize table and giving it to Sempai Laurie at class. We will also have sign-up sheets for some other jobs that we need help to cover. We appreciate your help.

We also need “students” of all belt ranks to help us out with the Instructor Clinic on Sunday, November 24. These students will receive a great deal of one-on-one attention with participants of the clinic as they work on their instructional techniques. It is a great opportunity to work closely with a higher belt rank. We’ll have a sign-up sheet for that as well.
